How to flash ASUS-RT-AX3000 ?

[albertux]

I have an ASUS RT-AX3000 with the current stock firmware: : 3.0.0.4.388_25210-gfbda585 I tried to flash using the RT-AX58U (based on the readme is the same firmware) "RT-AX58U_3004_388.9_2_puresqubi.w"

I even tried the:

nvram set DOWNGRADE_CHECK_PASS=1

But I always get:

Firmware upgrade unsuccessful. This may result from incorrect image or error transmission. Please check the version of firmware and try again.

Any help is appreciate it

Do you have a v2 version of the RT-AX58U? If so you will need to use the Gnuton fork that supports the RT-AX58U v2.

Check the lable on the back of the router, it typically will show version (H/W Ver) number if there is one.

How to tell if AX58U is v1 or v2

I haven't been able to find any reliable way to determine the router's version when searching online. I don't have the original box as this is a renewed/refurbed item from Amazon. I am unable to connect to it currently and browse around in the configuration for this information. I see nothing in...
